THIS CD IS COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION (SE) AND WINDOWS 98 FIRST EDITION (FE/GOLD)
This is a community sourced archive for Windows 98 updates, tools and extras released by Microsoft. It's based on the Windows Me Update CD (Release 2.2) by @micbr here on archive.org (https://archive.org/details/wmeupd-r2).

This
CD has specifically been compiled to include only official, unmodified
updates and hot-fixes as they were originally released by Microsoft, and
excludes unofficial updates, third-party utilities, and UI enhancements.
These can however be installed separately later, should you choose to
do so. A few of them can be found in the 3rd Party folder.
